Step 4: Add meat and cheese

Step 5: Add lettuce and enjoy!

Rip off a piece of lettuce from the top or middle of your romaine heart. You don't want to use the bottom, because it is kind of bitter. Make it just...

The bagel. It is a wonderful food. It can be eaten at any time of day. Make a toasted bagel with butter for breakfast. Make this sandwich for lunch, and make mini pizza bagels for dinner. You can even make bagel chips to eat as snacks. This is a great lunch that doesn't take too long to make, and is very rewarding at the end.

Step 1: Ingredients

To make your delicious bagel sandwich, you will need these ingredients:

Bagel, any kind

Your favorite deli meat (I used barbecue chicken from Stop & Shop)

Your favorite cheese (I used provolone)

Jumbo romaine hearts

Butter (salted or unsalted, margarine, whatever butter-like substance you usually put on you bagel)

Plus these tools:

Knife

Tin Foil

Step 2: (Optional) Thaw your bagel

For some unknown reason, I tend to buy a lot of bagels at a time. I don't eat them all that quickly, so I freeze them. You can't spread butter on a frozen bagel, so pop the halves in the oven at 350° for a minute and a half. You could also use a microwave, but I don't have one, so I couldn't tell you how long to put it in for.

Step 3: Spreading and toasting

Grab your butter or margarine or whatever, and put an even-ish coat on both halves. Put them in the oven at 350° again, but this time for ~3 and a half minutes. Take your bagels out using a spatula, or do(n't) do like I did and grab them with your bare hands. Careful- they're hot!

Though personally I just saw my bagel in half, and then clap the two halves together over the sink to get rid of excess bagel shavings. Next I pull out my meat of choice (lately it has been peppered turkey) and then put it on the bottom half, followed by my cheese which i like to grate on the spot. Next I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese followed by a session in the oven set to "broil" on "HI", I do this until it starts to look brown. This is where I pull the pan out and toss the bagel onto my plate, or directly into my mouth, depending on how hungry I am.
